Cover photo description:
This image shows a cannon cave in Trincomalee, Sri Lanka. The cave is made of rock and is located on the coast. The earliest record of the cave is from the 19th century, when it was described as a natural cavern that was used as a place of refuge by the local people. There is no mention of the cave being used to store fire cannons in any of the historical records that I have found. However, the cave's strategic location on the coast suggests that it may have been used for defensive purposes at some point in its history. The image captures the beauty and mystery of the cave.
